Dear Customers and Friends,My name is John Rose. I have worked passionately in the graffiti removal industry for the past 30 years, as owner of a contract graffiti removal business and developer of The World’s Best Graffiti Removal Products and System.

THE WORLD’S BEST GRAFFITI REMOVAL SYSTEMis guaranteed to be the QUICKEST and SAFEST graffiti removal system in the world. It is easily learned and employs only biodegradable products and environmentally sustainable techniques.

Much of our product development has taken place in the arid climate of Australia, where we have reluctantly become accustomed to severe water restrictions. This is why our products require little or no rinsing with water, and are now accepted for use by Heritage and World Wilderness areas.

Now manufactured in Los Angeles, California, by Urban Restoration Group US Inc., we have spent the past several years demonstrating to US Cities from the East to West Coast. I am proud to report that we have now been adopted by hundreds of Cities, as well as the most successful graffiti removal contracting teams on the planet.

We are passionate about providing you with TOTAL answers to graffiti removal cleaning problems. We’ve been doing it for many years with amazing success. How about joining us in making it GAME OVER for vandals? There’s strength in numbers.Together we can do it.

OUR PRODUCTS

“With 18¼ years experience with the City of Carlsbad, I thought that I had a PhD in graffiti removal, until we used the World’s Best Graffiti Removal Products. These products opened our eyes! The paint disappeared, like magic! We had been doing it backwards. We don’t need to re-invent the wheel - World’s Best have already done it. Luckily we accepted Adam’s invitation for a demonstration, because if we hadn’t, we would be looking pretty stupid right now.”

SPECIALTY PRODUCTS - CONSERVATION, TRANSPORTATION

Specially designed for sensitive, historic and important buildings to remove graffiti from stonework, brickwork and masonry without damage. We have spent over 30 years removing paint carefully from over 10,000 buildings. We have recognized the risk of damage from over zealous blasting or chemicals being entrapped within the surface fabric. This product is effective first time every time requiring very low pressure to remove softened graffiti and most importantly, allowing any chemical to rinse out easily to avoid the presence of insoluble salts being left on masonry.

The really ‘safe’ remover designed for use in the transport industry. Removes hard sun-baked murals on trains left in yards, with ease. A unique product especially designed for thick murals and hardened or sun-baked paints on all surfaces. Also excellent on asphalt, tarmac or bitumen surface, unpainted metals and pre-painted steel fencing.

SPECIALTY PRODUCTS - PROTECTIVE COATING

The Coating flexes with the ambient temperature and is durable and UV stable. The end result is a long lasting invisible protective barrier which behaves like a ‘living’ skin reinventing itself (almost daily) in the sun, rain and wind. One critical advantage of this, is that no water vapors are ever trapped and consequently walls ‘breathe’ normally, with moisture allowed to pass during these times. World’s Best Graffiti Coating can be applied to almost any exterior building surface. It will protect your property from all types of graffiti, grime, pollution, sea and salt spray for up to 10 years. After 30 years of experience with ‘coatings’, we realized that this product was the most versatile, durable, and easily removed coating available – being far and above any other ‘try hard’ products in the building industry. We have now field tested this coating for 12 years. It is non-toxic, and biodegradable, making it a pleasure to apply. If necessary for whatever reason, it can be easily removed either with Bare Brick, Stone & Masonry Graffiti Remover and/or a hot water pressure washer. Removes approximately 200 square feet per gallon on porous surfaces (including 2 coats) or approximately 800 square feet per gallon on hard impervious surfaces where only one coat is required.

WORLD’S BEST GRAFFITI COATING

World’s Best Graffiti Coating recommended for delicate historic buildings.

Friends of Beckley Furnace apply World’s Best Graffiti Coating.

“We applied World’s Best Graffiti Coating to the Beckley Blast Furnace in 2007. The material was very easy to apply with a low pressure handheld sprayer. There was no odor and it left no residue. After drying, there is no visible change to the appearance of the limestone (Stockbridge marble). The Beckley Furnace (1847-1923) is registered on the National Register of Historic Places U.S.D.I. Thanks for your help and patience in helping the Friends of Beckley Furnace protect this historic structure.”

ESSENTIAL INFO

Recognize that graffiti vandalism is a community problem, and unless the City budgets for it out of taxpayers’ money then it will never be eradicated. It is no longer possible to avoid this fact.

IS YOUR CITY DOING THIS?IS YOUR CITY USING WORLD’S BEST?

LET US SHOW YOU HOW EASY IT CAN BE.BOOK US FOR A FREE TRAINING SESSION NOW

Recognize that graffiti removal is a highly skilled trade. Do not think of it as a menial cleaning type job. Technicians are called upon to repair damaged property from anything and everything without trace or damage. They must be skilled and have a good sense of detailed workmanship.

Employ a proven cleaning ‘system’ which is non-damaging and has the ability to confidently work on any surface. We have the proven system.

Put all monetary resources into eradication while initially refraining from photographing graffiti. If your local area has been continually vandalised over several years it’s likely you will achieve nothing in this quest as most vandals are no longer active. Save this for police / prosecution purposes once you are graffiti-free.

Make a daily ‘clean-sweep’ of all-main roads and known problem areas e.g. skate parks, toilet blocks, parks and known vandal haunts.

Remove graffiti from anything and everything, not just city property. Do not leave it to other utilities. Do not leave any obvious graffiti. At first, just clean to ‘drive-by’ standard, i.e, not visible when driving through an area. You can always return and fine tune any removals.

As the daily prevalence of graffiti hits disappear, clean the side streets, while keeping a daily check on the main streets. Clean some areas twice daily if needed. This will deflate the vandal’s spirit. Endeavour to be proactive and not reactive (unless the situation requires you to attend to an offensive graffiti incident).

Ensure any ‘Community Art’ program involving aerosol art as the main medium is postponed until after you’ve attained ‘Graffiti-Free’ city status. (Art programs performed during clean up campaigns involving aerosol art tend to lower the morale of those responsible for removing graffiti as well as sending out a mixed message to vandals that it is ok to spraypaint on some walls, but not others).

Use this proven system. Do not ‘reinvent the wheel’ or copy other Cities who have not been successful. This definitely works and is not expensive.

A ‘Clean City’ levy of $1 per household per month will easily fund this, as well as providing cleaner toilets, BBQs, playgrounds etc.

The consequent increase in property values through an improved city will ensure that the rates pay for subsequent years ahead at no extra cost to the community.

Enjoy.
